I will be. Tifa is too. [His tone speaks louder than his words do. He's not happy that she's going along and had tried to talk her out of it. But she insisted that she'd be safe and wanted to help.

{Why are you closing yourself off so much? You don't need to put everything on your own shoulders.}

'What?'

{You have friends, don't you?}

'I don't...deserve friends.'

{What are you talking about? All the others here are your allies right? Just ask them for help!}

Cloud was too busy rubbing his own temples from the voice buzzing in his mind to notice what Terra was dealing with. He finally pushed it aside but he had to admit it had a point.]

Um...Look...if something happens to me...can you watch out for her?

[Her eyes were sharp as they zero in on Cloud. She isn't expecting him to ask something like that least of all to her. Most avoided the Esper as if she carries the plague with her.]

I won't promise something I can't keep.

[Terra feels a pain in her heart.

You can at least try...

Another growl and the Esper crosses her arms as if displeased. She glances away from Cloud before she dares to speak again.]

I can try.

Thank you.

[Cloud wasn't even sure why he was asking her this, or where this sudden trust in her came from but...

{When's the last time you opened up to someone? Or let them open up to you.}

He had meant to turn away, but he stopped.

{Ask her something! Something about her home!}]

When...all this over. Do you want to go back where you came from?

[Terra feels herself tense. She is similar to Cloud and has mostly kept to herself, not wanting to show weakness to others. They hadn't seen her as a person anyway.

He's asking though. He's trying, why not answer?

That voice is annoying and the Esper has to stifle a growl. She walks past Cloud not wanting to look him in the eyes as she speaks.]

I have no home there.

[No home? You have a home!

Terra feels her head shake as if telling that sweet voice that it isn't true. There is only an Empire who wishes to control her. The last she is from is gone and so are the people. She is the last of her kind.]

[Cloud's lips purse tighter. This is why he didn't want to talk about this. There was nothing good to come from talking about homes.]

Neither do I. Not anymore. [He made a pointed glance at Sephiroth but didn't say anything. There was no point. It only ever lead to arguments.]

[{Is that true? I saw your memories. Don't you live with Tifa now?}]

I had a new home to go back to, but I wound up here instead. [Maybe he could have had a life with Tifa. But not here. This was the wrong Tifa. And he had to watch his friends die, some for not the first time.

This place wasn't home either.]

[Terra just shakes her head.]

Should I clarify? I have no world to return to. My world has cast of magic and those like me. Should I return I will be used and killed.

[Her tone isn't sad only as if she spoke the truth. It is a fact of her world that people fear magic and seek to use the Espers powers. That is how her race ended with her.

That can't be true!

She grunts shaking her head.]

So you see. No one to return to, no world. You are not like that.

[Cloud reeled at her words. He'd lost a lot over the years, but nothing on the scale of what she was talking about. He was used and cast aside, but that was more to negligence and unethical science.

Her tone made it sound like her world had a more aggressive and evil machine working against her. His life had been bad but he had found a way to rebuild. It didn't sound like she had that option.]

I'm...I'm sorry. I didn't know.

You wouldn't.

[She doesn't mean for her words to sound sharp. She walks pass Cloud, her foots steps silent as they lightly kiss the ground. The voice in her thoughts have gone quiet leaving her alone for the moment.

Terra pauses looking back at the hero.]

I hope you can find your way home.

[With that she turns away leaving Cloud alone in the hall. It is more than she cares to admit and she isn't interested in any questions her statements might provoke.]
